Despite Mallorca being relegated, the Scottish defender impressed with his performances last season. However, it wasn't enough for Villa manager Paul Lambert to keep the 28-year-old at the Premier League club.
Chelsea and Arsenal are set to make improved offers for Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez respectively, while Tottenham eye Lyon attacker Lisandro Lopez.
Chelsea are ready to make a second £30 million offer to lure Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney to Stamford Bridge. According to the Daily Mail, Blues manager Jose Mourinho remains determined to capture the 27-year-old England international, and despite having an initial offer rejected by the Red Devils, will return with the improved bid. Rooney was left "angry and confused" by recent comments from United manager David Moyes, and with Chelsea willing to match Rooney's £240,000-a-week salary, could be tempted to join Mourinho in London. However, United remain stern in their stance that Rooney is going nowhere.
Another striker edging towards the exit door at his club is Luis Suarez, with the Mirror reporting that Arsenal will make an increased £40 million bid for the Liverpool striker. Currently in Australia for the club's pre-season tour, Suarez is expected to hold final crunch talks with manager Brendan Rodgers over his future with the club. But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is not waiting for the outcome of those coversations and will come back to the Reds with the improved bid after having an initial bid turned down by Liverpool. But waiting in the wings is Real Madrid, Suarez's club of choice, however they only value Suarez at £25 million. However, Liverpool, like rivals United, are unwilling to let their crown jewel leave the club.
Finally, Tottenham are targeting Lyon striker Lisandro Lopez. The Mirror claims that Spurs will return for the 30-year-old this summer after having a deadline day bid turned down in January. And with only 12 months left on his contract, Lopez's French club know they will need to sell now or risk losing the versatile player for nothing.

Damned (2011) by Chuck Palahniuk
- "What makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven."
- "If you can watch much television, then being dead will be a cinch. Actually, watching television and surfing the Internet are really excellent practice for being dead."
- "The first time we meet another person an insidious little voice in our head says, 'I might wear eyeglasses or be chunky around the hips or a girl, but at least I'm not Gay or Black or a Jew.' Meaning: I may be me - but at least I have the good sense not to be YOU."
- "It simply makes sense that I should miss my parents more than they miss me, especially when you consider that they only loved me for thirteen years while I loved them my entire life."
- "In Hell you'd be foolish to count on people displaying high standards of honesty. The same goes for earth."
- "Yes, and I know that when a supersexy older girl with hips and breasts and nice hair wants to take off your glasses and to paint you a smokey eye she's merely trying to enroll you in a beauty contest she's already won. It's the kind of slummy, condescending gesture, like when rich people ask poor people where they summer. To me, this smacks of a blatant, insensitive 'let them eat cake' type of chauvinism."
- "If the living are haunted by the dead. Then the dead are haunted by their own mistakes."
- "I do hereby and forever abandon abandoning all hope. Honestly, I give up on giving up. I'm just not cut out to be some hopeless, disillusioned wretch with no aspirations for the rest of the eternity, sprawled catatonic in my own feces on a cold stone floor. In all probability the Human Genome Project will, someday, find that I carry some recessive gene for optimism, because despite all my best efforts I still can't scrape together even a couple of days of hopelessness. Future scientists would call it Pollyanna Syndrome, and if forced to guess, I'd say that mine has been a way-long case of history chasing rainbows."

At first glance, Lapras seems inferior to the UU Water-types due to its Ice typing, but it has a couple of useful traits that it can utilize well. Its high HP and Special Defense make it an excellent counter to common UU Water-types such as Milotic and Omastar. Lapras's Stealth Rock weakness may seem disappointing, but this is balanced by the ability to heal itself with Water Absorb, which allows Lapras to switch into any Water-type move and heal a quarter of its health. Due to Lapras's wide movepool, it can be used as a sweeper or as a supporter. This versatility gives the opponent a tough time at predicting what role Lapras plays on its team. These traits also make Lapras a reliable check to common Rain Dance teams thanks to Water Absorb, its 4x resistance to Ice-type moves, access to Thunderbolt, and its mammoth HP stat. All in all, Lapras should not be underestimated.
This set focuses on Lapras's excellent defensive stats and the ability to hit many UU threats with its great type coverage. Surf, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt together hit every Pokemon in the UU tier for neutral damage (barring Lanturn and Shedinja). The final slot brings a support move to the set, allowing Lapras to heal its team or cripple an opponent.
The choice between Surf and Hydro Pump depends on whether you prefer power or accuracy. Hydro Pump is recommended if you wish to play more offensively. For example, with Life Orb equipped, Hydro Pump scores OHKOs on both Nidoqueen and Absol, which Surf cannot do. In the second slot, Ice Beam strikes Pokemon such as Venusaur and Altaria for major damage. To round off the coverage, Thunderbolt hits helpless Water-types such as Milotic and Blastoise for super effective damage. Finally, the last slot depends on what role you wish Lapras to fulfill. Toxic allows it to wear down walls such as Lanturn and Chansey, Perish Song allows Lapras to force switches when it is faced with an unfavorable match up, and Heal Bell allows it to support its teammates by removing crippling status.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
On this set, Dragon Dance is used in order to raise Lapras's average Attack and Speed stats into much higher degrees. Lapras makes an excellent Dragon Dance user thanks to its respectable defenses and Water Absorb ability, giving it numerous opportunities to switch in and boost its stats.
A combination of Waterfall and Return provides near-perfect type coverage in UU, with Shedinja being the only Pokemon who is immune to both moves. Zen Headbutt is an option if you need Lapras to hit Weezing and Fighting-types such as Poliwrath or Toxicroak harder. However, if you leave out Return, Slowbro will cause problems. Substitute grants Lapras safety from crippling status moves, but Ice Beam, although being a special attack, will hit Grass-types for more damage than any of Lapras's other physical options.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set functions as a wallbreaker; with Lapras's above-average offensive stats and great type coverage, it is capable of removing some of UU's most troublesome walls, including Steelix and Chansey. This set also utilizes Dragon Dance, which boosts Lapras's Speed and Attack, and turns it into a powerful sweeper.
Dragon Dance gives Lapras a great boost in power and the Speed to outrun common UU threats such as Drapion and Houndoom. The choice of which physical move to pick depends on your personal preference: use Waterfall for flinch rate and power, or use Return to damage Water-types. With 64 Special Attack EVs and a Life Orb, Hydro Pump gives Lapras a chance to OHKO the most defensive Steelix with Spikes support, while also dealing huge damage to Donphan and Weezing. The final slot depends on whether you wish to hit Grass-types super effectively with Ice Beam, or if you want Lapras to hit Water-types with Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is recommended if you use Waterfall as your physical option.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Lapras's huge HP and respectable Special Defense stats make it an ideal Curse user. Curse allows Lapras to boost its Attack and Defense stats at the cost of lowering its Speed, which turns it into a monstrous tank who is difficult to remove without landing a critical hit or leeching its health with Toxic or a burn.
Ice Shard works great with Curse as its priority will negate the drop in Speed. Avalanche is another option, as it doubles in power by moving last, which Lapras will almost always be doing after a Speed drop. Waterfall is a strong STAB attack that will deal huge damage to any Pokemon without a resistance or immunity after a few boosts from Curse. Return provides excellent type coverage alongside Waterfall, while Rest allows Lapras to fully restore its health and remove harmful status. Using a Chesto Berry with Rest is a good option as it wakes Lapras up instantly.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Lapras has a great variety of moves not listed on the above sets due to the lack of moveslots. Body Slam can be used on the Dragon Dance set if you wish to abuse the 30% paralysis rate, though Return is probably better due to its higher Base Power. Confuse Ray is a risky option, but deals huge damage to an incoming Choice Band user if it hits itself. Icy Wind is an option for overcoming Lapras's average Speed, though the low Base Power can be a turn off. Rain Dance alongside Thunder and Hydro Pump is an excellent offensive option for Lapras. It can also support other teammates who have abilities that benefit from the rain, Water-type attacks, and Thunder. With Rain Dance, a Damp Rock can be used to prolong the rain, or a Life Orb can be used to deal more damage. Sing is an option on the Special Attacker set, though the low accuracy makes it unreliable. Finally, Hidden Power Grass can be used to hit Quagsire, who is immune to Thunderbolt and Water-type moves due to its Water Absorb ability.
Checks and Counters
Lanturn is the best all-around counter to Lapras, as it can switch in on Thunderbolt thanks to Volt Absorb and takes little damage from either of Lapras's STAB attacks. It can then proceed to hit Lapras with an STAB Thunderbolt or cripple it with Toxic. Venusaur can also easily switch in on any move barring Ice Beam or Avalanche and threaten Lapras with a super effective Grass-type attack or Sleep Powder. It also benefits from Lapras's huge HP stat, as it will recover more health with Leech Seed. Venusaur's ability to absorb Toxic Spikes is useful as well.
Chansey can counter special attacking sets with ease, though it should beware of any physical or mixed sets due to its lower Defense stat. Natural Cure lets Chansey laugh at Lapras's Toxic all day. It can then cripple Lapras with Toxic or Thunder Wave and attempt to weaken Lapras with Seismic Toss. Clefable makes an excellent counter with Encore, which allows it to foil Lapras if it decides to set up with Dragon Dance or Curse. With its high defensive stats, Clefable can switch in on unboosted attacks with little trouble, while Magic Guard will prevent poison damage.

The goal is to create short, casual, fully immersive content that can entertain children as they wait for an IV or a long and tedious procedure, distracting them from the pain and boredom they might feel.

"I'm thinking about (college), but I'm also not at the same time. I'm trying to enjoy where I am now without stressing myself out about the future," Casey said.
In his time at Reed, Casey has become fascinated with the English language and its use to convey meaning. A fan of fiction and adult fiction books, Casey hopes his studies in English will lead him to a career in writing someday.
He admits working only as a writer would be a difficult task, but still says it is his dream job. He said a second profession, which he has yet to discover, would be "something more practical to work with" and would help him avoid "barely getting by" financially.
"I like to write stuff that makes you want to read it, instead of just barking on and on," he said.
Casey has packed this year's schedule with AP classes in English, Biology, U.S. History and a Honors French class in his pursuit to someday be Valedictorian. He said he does not "need to be number one, but it would be nice," adding that seeking the nomination insistently would only place added pressure and stress to his already dense schedule.
On a typical weekday afternoon, Casey can be found in the music wing of Reed High exercising his love for melodic vocal arrangements in the school's Intermezzo show choir. Casey, working in his third year in Intermezzo and his second year of the jazz choir ensemble, finds that being a member of the choir offers more than just a place to release his inner creativity not expressed in his writing.
"It's like I have a whole second family in that class. I walk in and it's like they welcome me with open arms," he said. "That's why I like the music side because there's an equal balance of learning, knowledge, memorizing things and singing. I just love it here."
Casey said he does not remember his exact age when his father bought him a karaoke machine to perform vocal performances for his family. At age 12, Casey won the annual Sparks Got Talent contest at the Sparks Marina and said his passion for singing "blossomed from there."
"The awesome thing about it is that intermezzo and (jazz) ensemble are sixth and seventh periods, so it is a great way to end your day," Casey said. "Every day you go in there, you sing and everything is better. I leave the building and I think that was a good day even if the first four periods stunk."
Casey does not envision himself as a world-renown music star in the future, in fact, he recognizes the rare odds of becoming a recording artist. Still, his love for singing depends on the glimmer of hope that a dream so immaculate could come true.
"If I don't continue to persevere and sing in my life it will take all the energy and fun out of it," he said. "I'm never going to let that dream die. There is always this dream of being a big Broadway star and, as far-fetched as that is, I am never going to let that out of my head. There's so many (vocal artists) out there and they all have such good ideas and sometimes it is kind of a harsh reality, but it is good to have that (reality check) because then you are not blown away when you realize 'what if I don't make it.' I want to keep singing. I don't want to stop because it is so fun and so rewarding."

As I wrote before, I wasn't personally offended by it, but I've seen enough people on this list recently being (what I consider) unreasonably thin-skinned that I was fairly sure that somebody was going to find it offensive. I also know full well that if the OP was, in fact, trying to be insulting he wouldn't care when I pointed it out, but if it was accidental my comment might be all that was needed to avoid further incidents.
And, yes, in this case, the question wasn't F17 specific, just phrased that way and in any event, I don't mind the occasional question of that nature although I rarely if ever have anything to contribute to such discussions. The whole point of my post, in fact, was to point out that we're getting more questions about the next Fedora release than we usually do and to wonder why. Any thoughts about that?

Our goal is to provide patients with exceptional care for joint replacement. We offer outstanding surgeons, excellent staff, the best technology and equipment, plus a unique "buddy system" approach. Patients heal better and faster after joint replacement through the support and encouragement of other patients also going through the Joint Replacement process.
Call (360) 636-4846 to learn more about this innovative care concept!
Here's a note from a patient who recently had knee replacement surgery:
To whom it may concern,
I could not let another day go by with out letting you know what an excellent staff you have in your pre-operative, orthopedic surgery, and post-operative care areas. Each and every staff member gave me excellent care and made me feel like I was a special member of the team. Being a nurse myself I knew what to expect, and was well aware of the risks. I felt blessed to have such a great team working with me. Everything was explained in detail to me by staff and doctors alike. I especially want to thank the staff member who had me lay my head on her shoulder while having my epidural placed. It made me feel like a small child being comforted by a mother as I fell asleep. When I awoke in the post-operative area, the nurse listened to and cared for my needs promptly, so I experienced no discomfort. I wish I could give them all a great big hug for all they did for me and my family, who were waiting nervously through the procedure.
Staff like this doesn't come along everyday. Take good care or them, because you certainly would not want to lose them. Bravo St. John, Bravo!

A. Cable Configuration
The Magellan RS-232 connector will accept a standard 6 line telephone jack
attached to a cable of up to 30 feet (perhaps more depending on cable construction).
Connection to your computer will vary, but typically requires a 9-pin or
25-pin DB connector. Cable and computer hardware for making these connections
is readily available in most computer or electronic retail stores.
Figure 2 shows the pinouts for the 6 line telephone cable jack. Table 1
shows standard IBM compatible DB-9 and DB-25 serial port pinouts and how
they should be connected to the 6 line telephone cable jack. Note that only
3 wires are required.

- Democrats are moving America forward while Congressional Republicans admit they want to take us back to the "exact same" failed policies of Bush that drove us into the ditch.
- Congressional Republicans are protecting Wall Street, Big Oil, health insurance companies and corporations who use tax loopholes to ship U.S. jobs overseas -- voting against investments that put Americans to work building roads, bridges, broadband, wind turbines, and solar panels that will help America lead the world -- and voting against tax cuts for small businesses to help create hundreds of thousands of local jobs.
KGO (San Francisco) - Groundbreaking at Transbay Transit Center in SF [MEMBER MENTIONED: Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-8)]
Calling it the 'Grand Central Station of the West,' political and civic leaders broke ground Wednesday on the new Transbay Transit Center. They believe it's such an important project an economic boom will come as a result.
San Francisco has had a plan for high speed rail for years and now Congress and the administration has come up with the money -- $400 million to start…
There will be 48,000 jobs created for the first seven years.
'It will definitely immediately put to work a lot of the construction trades. That's what we have been saying in Washington for the last two years. This has been a project 30 years in the making…,' said Webcor president Andy Ball.
[Speaker Nancy] Pelosi calls it 'a project of national significance.' [8/11]

'I love my job,' [Elsy] Flores, a service representative with State Farm Insurance, said Thursday afternoon as local elected officials gathered in Redondo Beach to highlight a federally funded program they say has created thousands of jobs in Los Angeles County…
The countywide program, aimed at injecting much-needed jobs into a stalled economy, is made
possible through nearly $5 billion from the American Recovery Reinvestment Act, passed in 2009. Nationwide, more than 184,000 temporary jobs were created - of those an estimated 11,000 were in Los Angeles County…
'This program is probably the best thing out there to keep and create jobs in Los Angeles County,' said Rep. Jane Harman, D-El Segundo. [8/12]

The grant to the center will be used to facilitate the placement of as many as 17 students or recent graduates in on-the-job internships and fellowships. [8/13]

It's Never Too Late to Celebrate Love
Valentine's Day has come and gone, and we hope you had a memorable one. Whether you spent it with your significant other, friends, family, or pet, we're sure it was full of love. A special dinner is a usual way for us to celebrate this jubilant holiday, and we felt like sharing an associate favorite recipe. Feel free to pair it with a nice glass of Sauvignon blanc, as well.
Camarones Enchilados Recipe (translation: Spicy Cuban Shrimp)
- 2 lb. uncooked medium shrimp (about 32) shelled and deveined
- ½ cup of oil
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 green bell pepper
- ½ cup of fresh parsley (dried flakes, do about a ¼ cup)
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 can/jar roasted peppers.
- ½ cup of ketchup
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 tbsp of vinegar
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 ½ tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp of your preferred hot sauce (sriracha, tabasco, etc.)
Devein and wash the shrimp. In a soup/stock pot, heat the oil and then sauté the shrimp until they're a light pink. If you have a food processor, chop the onion, garlic, and green pepper. Add this mixture to the pot and shrimp. Sauté that for a bit too. Add the parsley, tomato sauce, ketchup, bay leaf, white wine, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire and hot sauce. Let it cook on low for about 25 to 30 mins. Serves 6.
You can make some rice, and serve the shrimp over it. Buy a bag of plantain chips at your local Trader Joe's as a side. Delish! We don't blame you if you can't wait till next Valentine's Day to prepare this meal. Be spontaneous and surprise your loved one with an exquisite dinner.

Maybe nobody's performance summed up J-Day better than Bynum's, who helped the White squad beat the Red team 17-13: Some mistakes, some good plays, lots of enthusiasm and effort.
"That's one of the things we've worked on — you have to have a short memory. If you have adversity, you've got to overcome it," said the junior cornerback, who smiled at how he nearly got a touchdown on his second interception, but stepped out of bounds at the 1-yard line.
In Bill Clark's first J-Day Game as the Gamecocks' head coach, the spring finale at Burgess-Show Field drew a school-record crowd of 4,000.
"I saw good individual effort and when we are talking different sides of the ball, I was definitely pleased with the effort," said Clark, who also complimented the crowd for getting into the action as it did.
Clark and his staff divided the teams so that the first-team offense played for the White squad, while the Red got the first-team defense. They played two 12-minute quarters with the clock stopping whenever it would in a normal game. In the second half, they played two 15-minute quarters with clock that didn't stop. At halftime, they swapped starting quarterbacks.
Both teams' offenses played the high-tempo offense Clark and offensive coordinator John Grass have installed this spring.
Again, there were some mistakes, some good plays, lots of enthusiasm. The two teams combined for seven turnovers. But the White team managed to pick up 167 yards on the ground, while the Red passed for 292, including an 85-yard bomb from Eli Jenkins to Wesley Warren for the game's first touchdown.
"We preach tempo," Clark said, "and I know people may get tired of hearing that, but it goes over to how your defense handles that. I watch when a guy gets tired. Did he shut it down? You can see that. We've played against it.
"I didn't see that tonight. ... The defense handled the tempo because we had a fast tempo the whole game offensively. There were only a few times we slowed it down."
The Red team took a 10-0 lead in the opening quarter. A little more than two minutes into the game, Warren slipped past Bynum, who stumbled. Warren latched onto Jenkins' long pass in stride and sprinted the rest of the way for the touchdown. He finished with three catches for 119 yards.
"When I saw he was one-on-one, I had to get him the ball," Jenkins said.
Griffin Thomas added a 28-yard field goal.
In the second quarter, Bynum's interception and 29-yard return gave the White team the ball 47 yards from the end zone. The White squad, with Kyle West at quarterback, drove for a touchdown, with Anniston High graduate Troymaine Pope rushing 4 yards for the score. Pope finished with a game-high 55 yards.
After another Thomas field goal for the Red squad, the White team managed another touchdown before halftime. Bynum picked off another pass, running it back 27 yards to the 1, where a crowd of Red and White players slowed him down and forced him out of bounds.
"I closed my eyes and dove into the end zone," Bynum said. "I thought I got in, but one of my teammates said I stepped out at the 1.
DaMarcus James scored on a 1-yard run on the next play.
Another Red turnover set up the game's final points. The White team lost a fumble, which the Red's Kyle Pope recovered. That set up a field goal from 38 yards away by Thomas, who kicked for both squads.
West completed 8 of 19 passes for 57 yards and an interception for the White squad. When he moved to the Red in the second half, he completed 3 of 8 for 45 yards and an interception.
Jenkins completed a combined 10 of 19 passes for 194 yards and two interceptions.
Defensively, Brenton Tolson had 12 tackles for the Red team, while Clarence Jackson added 10. For the White squad, Jamal Johnson and Pope each had six stops.
Friday's game marked the 15th and final practice of JSU's spring. Clark, who was introduced as JSU's coach Dec. 18, 2012, said there's much more he wants to accomplish with his team.
"But I feel pretty good," he said. "We've got a lot of work to do, but I think we did a pretty good job, given everything we had to get done. You've got to come away pleased."

Neuman wants to ban lottery political cash
State Rep. Brandon Neuman
State Rep. Brandon Neuman plans to introduce legislation to ban any company running the Pennsylvania Lottery from making campaign contributions to elected officials and political candidates in Pennsylvania.
Neuman was responding to Gov. Tom Corbett's recent decision to award a 20-year contract to British-based Camelot Global Services to outsource the management of the Pennsylvania Lottery.
"The state has prohibited the casino industry from making campaign contributions, but there's nothing in the contract signed by the governor that stops Camelot or its executives from making donations to political candidates," Neuman said Jan. 17 in a news release. "We don't allow the gaming industry to influence elections for good reason and the same standard should apply to the lottery."
Neuman said he would prefer that the state continue managing the lottery, but said if the deal with Camelot is completed, then the same prohibitions on campaign contributions that apply to the casinos industry should apply to the lottery.
Camelot stands to make $1.7 billion over the life of the contract that was negotiated before a legislative hearing could be held.
"Camelot intends to expand gaming, which I believe will require legislative approval. My bill would ensure those decisions remain focused on the best interests of seniors and the state programs that serve them and the process is free from the influence of campaign contributions," said Neuman, D-North Strabane Township.
